West River Redevelopment Plan

West River Redevelopment Plan

The West River Redevelopment Plan focuses on a 120-acre area bounded by Rome Avenue, Columbus Avenue, the Hillsborough River and Interstate-275. The plan recommends reconnecting the streets and blocks to each other, strong ties with public education and community services, a keen focus on linkages along the Hillsborough River to emergent activities south of I-275 in North Hyde Park to the waters of Tampa Bay, and more than 1600 new residential units, with a variety of housing styles and affordability. Ultimately, over the next 10 years, the goal is to have created a genuinely diverse and economically integrated community.
